Adopt an ordinance amending the salary ordinance and accept the report on the total number of positions in the County. | |||
Vision Alignment | |||
Commitment: |
Responsive, effective and collaborative government. | ||
Goal 20: |
Government decisions are based on careful consideration of future impact, rather than temporary relief or immediate gain. | ||
The reclassification of three positions, combining of two part-time positions into one full-time position, and salary adjustment for one classification will assist departments in meeting their individual performance expectations by assuring that they have staff with the skills necessary to perform the work. The conversion of the unclassified positions implements the will of the voters as reflected in their passage of Measure D. | |||
Background | |||
Each year following budget deliberations your Board adopts the annual salary ordinance. The ordinance enacts the decisions made during budget hearings concerning the number of positions in the County service. Throughout the year, because of changes in the operating needs of departments, salary ordinance amendments are recommended that make changes to department staffing configurations. | |||
Discussion | |||
